lyrics

PEOPLE OF THE DAMNED

Intimidation
Pressures, threats
Abuses, growing fear
No way to escape

Machine guns
Instead of songs
Behind your curtain
Always drawn
A faceless pawn

Constant repression
Hear the whips slam
Time for retaliation
Getting worse all the time
You can forget any hope
Behind your curtain
Always drawn
A faceless pawn

People of the damned
Under the devil's thumb
People of the damned
Betrayed in
Their homeland

White flag and rifles
As a symbol of obscurantism
Suffocated women
Who lost everything
Oh yeah
Everything they believed in
Behind their curtain
Always drawn
Like faceless pawns

People of the damned
Under the devil's thumb
People of the damned
Betrayed in
Their homeland
(x2)
People of the damned...
